Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Sequences & Series - Question 1

If 1, log9 (31–x + 2), log3 (4.3x – 1) are in A.P. then x equals [2002]

Detailed Solution for Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Sequences & Series - Question 1

(b) 1, log9 (31 – x + 2), log3 (4.3x – 1) are in A.P.
⇒ 2 log9  (31– x+2) = 1 + log3 (4.3x – 1) ⇒ log3 (31 – x + 2) = log33 + log3 (4.3x – 1)
⇒ log3 (31– x + 2) = log3 [3(4 × 3x – 1)] ⇒ 31– x + 2 = 3 (4.3x – 1) ⇒ 3.3–x + 2 = 12.3x – 3.
Put 3x = t

 = 

   Hence or  x = log33 – log3 4

⇒ x = 1 – log34

Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Sequences & Series - Question 2

l, m, n are the pth, qth and rth term of a G. P. all positive, then   equals[2002]

Detailed Solution for Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Sequences & Series - Question 2

l = ARp –1 ⇒ log l = log A + (p – 1) log R
m = ARq –1 ⇒ log m = log A + (q – 1) log R
n = ARr –1 ⇒ log n = log A + (r – 1) log R
Now,

Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Sequences & Series - Question 21

A person is to count 4500 currency notes. Let an denote the number of notes he counts in the nth minute. If a1 = a2 = ... = a10 = 150 and a10, a11, ... are in an AP with common difference –2, then the time taken by him to count all notes is [2010]

Detailed Solution for Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Sequences & Series - Question 21

Till 10th minute number of counted notes = 1500

n2 - 149n + 3000= 0

⇒ n = 125, 24

But n = 125 is not possible

∴ total time = 24 + 10 = 34 minutes.

Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Sequences & Series - Question 22

A man saves 200 in each of the first three months of his service. In each of the subsequent months his saving increases by 40 more than the saving of immediately previous month. His total saving from the start of service will be 11040 after [2011]

Detailed Solution for Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Sequences & Series - Question 22

Let required number of months = n

∴ 200 × 3 + (240 + 280 + 320 + ... +  (n – 3)th term) = 11040

⇒ (n - 3)[240 + 20n - 80]= 10440

⇒ (n - 3)(20n + 160)= 10440

⇒ (n - 3)(n + 8)= 522

⇒ n2 + 5n - 546=0

⇒  (n + 26) (n – 21) = 0

∴ n = 21

Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Sequences & Series - Question 23

Statement-1: The sum of the series 1 + (1 + 2 + 4) +  (4 + 6 + 9) + (9 + 12 + 16) + .... + (361 + 380 + 400) is 8000

Statement-2:    for any natural number n. [2012]
